The Garage, London

Live venue in north London reopened as The Garage in 1993. The Garage was originally built to be the Temperance Billiard Hall which quickly gained a reputation for serving great pies, as well as being a haunt for local villains in the sixties. The Highbury Mob often used the Billiard Hall as a meeting place. It then became the Town And Country Club 2, London, a sister venue to the The Town And Country Club, London (now The Forum in Kentish Town), which is when the first live music events began to be programmed in the building. In 2016, the venue was taken over by DHP Family. This led to a complete revamp of the whole venue in March 2017 to create an all day bar as well as an intimate 100 capacity venue, Thousand Island, upstairs. A new layout, bar, sound and lighting system for The Garage was also added.
